Lets face it, comedy's a dead art form. Now tragedy! Ha ha ha, that's funny.
Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: - Medical benefits are a great, like everyone else has said.
- Stock is OK (see below)
Cons: - Management at all levels is non-existent, clueless, ignorant or just plain stupid.
- Stock is OK - You will get excited about how high it has gotten just to watch it plummet 15-20 points when you can actually sell it.
- They are slowly getting rid of all US employees in favor of hiring tons of cheap labor in Pune. Most of those folks barely know what a computer is or what it does. You get what you pay for.
- You get to work tons of ridiculous hours because the HQ office is shifting its hours to IST. Enjoy.
- A great place to learn how to use technology incorrectly. Want Docker containers? Throw the equivalent of a VM's worth of stuff in there and then ask for 32G of RAM and 16 vCPUs. Why is everything falling over? Good times. Want parity between Engineering environments and Production? Forget that! Want CI/CD? We have your Crappy Integration and Crappy Deployment right here ...
- Engineering department is the equivalent of a 6-year old kid constantly distracted by the latest "shiny" new toy. No picking something and making it work well. Just constantly blaming the tool of choice because they used it incorrectly and moving on to the next tool to blame.
- The list goes on and on...

NOPE, this isn't it!
Engineer • Current Employee
Foster City, California
February 3, 2024
Pros: The compensation is fair, the location is nice, and the benefits package is solid.
Cons: "American company" but predominantly operates with 95% of its employees based in Pune, India. Employees can expect plenty of meetings scheduled in the Indian Standard Time (IST) due to the majority of the team being located in India. Unfortunately, the CPO and CIO lack the necessary experience and skill set, which reflects in the company's subpar culture and mediocre product. Additionally, the company experiences high turnover rates, with a significant portion of employees not remaining with the company for more than a year.
